Sincere Thanks to All for Such a Successful Celebration

“Davy, Bebe & Agnes would sincerely like to thank everyone who made Davy’s 80th Birthday Party so enjoyable.. Humphry Healy, Caroline and all the staff at the Bridge Bar for providing such a great venue, finger food & entertainment. Anthony Dineen for the fantastic music that put life & soul into the night, Sheila & staff at Cronin’s Centra for the georgeous sandwiches. So fresh and tasty. Christy’s Family Restaurant & staff for the late night hot finger food…it resurrected a few that we thought were gone 🙂 John Hickey Taxi for getting eveyone there and home. We’d be absolutely lost without his invaluable service all year round. Supervalu for the georgeous birthday cake. Could not have asked for better. Hullaballons at Millstreet Post office for the decorations. All our neighbours, friends and relations who made the effort to come and join us and especially those who travelled long journeys to be with us. Such a great night. Rock on the 90th!”  (We thank Mary O’Sullivan for this uplifting message of thanks...S.R.)
